A welcoming, generative workshop on writing your own versions of fairy tales, myths and other classic stories. The workshop will begin with an introduction to classical story structure, tale types and famous retellings and reworkings in literature, film, and other media. Participants will share, discuss and develop their own retellings through accessible writing exercises and will leave with practical tools and inspiration for moving forward.
